Changes in the smoking behavior of pregnant women andtheir family members during pregnancy: A cross-sectional study in China.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionStudies regarding the changes in smoking behavior of pregnant women have been mostly conducted in high income countries but rarely in China. This study thus focused on investigating the changes in smoking behavior among pregnant women and their family members in China, both before and during pregnancy.
methodsA cross-sectional study was carried out at nine Women and Children's Hospitals in Shanghai, China, in 2014. A total of 2831 gestational households were recruited. The chi-squared test, paired sample t-test and logistical regression analysis were used during statistical analysis.
resultsThe prevalence of smoking for all household members significantly declined during pregnancy: 76.2% of the pregnant women, 19.2% of their husbands and 14.0% of other family members quit smoking entirely. The average daily cigarette consumption rate decreased from 5.9 to 0.9 among pregnant women, 11.4 to 9.5 for husbands, and 11.4 to 9.5 for other family members (paired sample t-test, p<0.001). The likelihood that husbands continued smoking during pregnancy was significantly lower for those with a shorter history of smoking, had a lower daily cigarette consumption rate and a household registration in Shanghai.
conclusionsThe prevalence of smoking among pregnant women, husbands and other family members significantly declines during pregnancy. Thus, pregnancy is most likely a key period in which to provide families with health education regarding the effects of smoking, both during the pregnancy period and in general. Intervention programs designed to reduce smoking among husbands during pregnancy should focus on those with a long history of smoking, a high rate of daily cigarette consumption, and those with household registration not in Shanghai.
